    Esotropia in infants can signal unilateral infantile glaucoma. Early diagnosis and treatment, including surgery and patching, can reverse amblyopia and achieve orthophoria.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatrics
    • Developmental Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Esotropia, a form of strabismus, can present in infancy.
    • Delayed motor development may warrant further investigation.

    Observation:

    • A 20-month-old male presented with esotropia noted at four months.
    • Ophthalmic evaluation revealed infantile glaucoma and myopia in one eye, and esotropia and amblyopia in the other.

    Findings:

    • Surgical treatment of infantile glaucoma and patching of the affected eye successfully reversed amblyopia.
    • The patient achieved orthophoria, indicating successful alignment of the eyes.

    Implications:

    • Esotropia can be an early sign of unilateral infantile glaucoma in the contralateral eye.
